Not pocket. It's the same version as PS3/360
Gamescom 2013.
0% because Sony is the kind of company that won't push it. At least in the US, it seems their holiday Vita bundle is going to consist of LittleBigPlanet + Tearaway, two games children have likely never heard of.
This is so sad and true.

Sony could at least use the white/lime green Vita Slim if they cared to make a bundle and market it. If they cared that is.

Vita means life.

Seems I was wrong. It still doesn't change the fact you are better with a PS3/360 since the game can be played split screen.

If you have the PS3 version then you get the Vita version for free anyway so you have the best of both worlds.

Minecraft won't save the Vita. No way now how.
"Minecraft just came out on the Vita." "What's a Vita?" "I don't know, but you can get it cheaper on the App Store so let's play on our phones!"

Look at the sales figures for the PS3/360 version.

Sorry for the bump, is there any news on this? Several blogs have reported on it now, but 4J haven't commented..

Sad but true, if they don't already have Minecraft, no kid will beg its parents to buy a £200 Vita when the parent could get a tablet
What? Sorry as a PS4 owner the Vita is already saved by remote play.
Sure it'll sell if they do this kind of marketing, but I don't see the Vita as being doomed.

It's way closer to the £130-150 price range.

Nothing that I've seen but honestly it wouldn't surprise me at this point.
4J seems to be one of the slowest developers on the planet. They really should be catching more heat for how slow they work.

In fairness they are developing for and keeping up to date 5 separate platforms.

Really? haven't looked at price since i bought one, but i suppose a lower price point could swing some people to buying a Vita over a Tablet, but then this is children they will get what the rich kids buy or aspire to it...ipads

That would be so wavy, like they should legitimately consider this (they won't). Promoting a Minecraft Bundle during launch and throughout the holiday period could crank out some damn good Vita sales and ROI. I don't think it'd sell millions in the immediate term nor even anything mindblowing but given its current marketshare no one is realistically expecting that; however good, consistent marketing can go a long way. How popular is Minecraft in Europe? I'd expect SCEE would give it better treatment than SCEA would.
